Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 364: The Throne of Heaven
In front of Lingxiao Palace, Jiang Lin stood tall.

"Your servant, Jiang Xuanying, please enter the Lingxiao Palace."

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and bowed.

The gate of Lingxiao Palace has always been open, and no one knows how many years it has been open. Perhaps since the moment the Heavenly Palace appeared, this gate has never been closed.

Everyone in the Three Realms knows that the supreme Great Celestial Lord is sitting in the Lingxiao Palace.

But from the beginning to the end, no one has ever been able to enter the Lingxiao Palace without permission.

Perhaps in the ancient times, there was a person with great supernatural powers who ascended to the sky and wanted to challenge the Supreme Being of the Three Realms.

But until now, Lingxiao Palace is still Lingxiao Palace, without any changes.

The reason why Jiang Lin came to pay a visit to Ling Xiao was naturally because of the old man's advice.

Although the Great Celestial Lord disappeared without a trace, and even used the excuse of leaving due to a catastrophe to cover it up, no one in the entire Three Realms knew the whereabouts of the Great Celestial Lord.

However, within the Three Realms, the closest place to the Great Heavenly Venerable is right in front of Jiang Lin.

There is only Lingxiao Palace, and it can only be Lingxiao Palace.

As Jiang Lin finished speaking, two divine generals walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, walked up to Jiang Lin, and said with a bow, "Young Master has ordered that Master Jiang come to pay his respects."

"Thank you."

Jiang Lin nodded, saluted towards Lingxiao Palace again, and walked in.

There are thirty-six palaces and seventy-two palaces in the Heavenly Palace. Among these one hundred and eight palaces, the scale of Lingxiao Palace is actually not large at all, and it can even be said to be relatively small.

This also leads to the fact that there are very few immortals and gods who are qualified to hold meetings in Lingxiao Palace.

As for the immortal gods, there is only one in ten who can directly pay homage to Lingxiao.

In the Lingxiao Palace, apart from the Lingxiao generals standing on both sides, only Yang Jian was sitting next to the supreme throne.

And under the nine-tiered cloud platform, only Master Ge, one of the four great heavenly masters, stood, and behind Master Ge, there were two people standing.

One of them was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with a black beard down to his belly and a broad face.

There was another person who made Jiang Lin blink involuntarily.

When the other party saw Jiang Lin, he was stunned at first, and then smiled at Jiang Lin, revealing a row of neat little white teeth, which seemed quite heartless.

It’s Miaoqing.

Jiang Lin glanced at Miaoqing, then at the Taoist in blue robe, and then at Master Ge Tianshi, and basically understood what was going on.

After retracting his gaze, Jiang Lin took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am Jiang Xuanying, and I greet you, young master."

Then, he looked at Master Ge: "Greetings to Master, and greetings to... Immortal Lord Huang."

Miaoqing came from Yuexiu Mountain, and her master was Huang Chuping Huang Xianjun, and Huang Xianjun's master was Ge Xuan Ge Zhenren, one of the four great celestial masters. (This is a fabrication. Regarding Huang Daxian's master, one says it was Baopuzi Ge Hong Zhenren, another says it was Guangchengzi Zhenren, and there are other theories, which I will not elaborate on here.)
In other words, three generations of Miaoqing's lineage are here.

Huang Xianjun smiled at Jiang Lin and returned the greeting. Ge Tianshi did not make any move, but just smiled and nodded.

Miaoqing puffed up her snow-white cheeks, as if to say, why don’t you say hello to me?

Huang Xianjun patted the forehead of his out-of-touch disciple.

This is Lingxiao Palace. Jiang Lin is obviously here on official business. He is here to pay homage to the master and respect his master, a second-rank celestial being. The same goes for me.

Even if you, a little girl, hold an official position in the Heavenly Court, can you be greater than this fourth-rank wizard who holds two important positions with real power?
"Xuanying, please wait a moment. Master Ge still has something to do."

Yang Jian waved his hand and asked Jiang Lin to wait for a while.

Then he looked at Master Ge and said, "Master, let's continue."

Master Ge nodded and said, "My Lord, this little disciple of mine has an eccentric personality and is of average appearance. I am only asking for your grace. If you can give her a lowly position, it won't be considered as burying her."

"But Young Master, you mentioned the position of a Thunder God, and the position of a Demon Slayer, which is above the seventh rank, which is really inappropriate."

"I am flattered, but I cannot allow my son, who is without moral integrity and ability, to occupy such an important position in the Heavenly Court."

After two or three sentences, Jiang Lin understood.

It turns out that he came to apply for a job for Miaoqing.

This is normal. For the disciples who come from the right and authentic sects, especially the best ones, the Heavenly Court will never be stingy with a deity position. It can even be said that it is happy to see it happen.

And now, the two great gods from heaven, Ge Tianshi and Huang Xianjun, have come together, which shows their love for Miaoqing.

Old people always like pretty and smart girls.

But now it seems that Yang Jian was too generous and Master Ge felt it was inappropriate?
Very good, this is very Yang Jian.

And Master Ge Tianshi was obviously serious. A boss who had reached this level would not bother to do any tricks of advancing to retreat.

Although he was being modest, he really felt that as a young disciple, he was not suitable to go to the Thunder Department's Demon-Slaying Division.

"The Heavenly Master has really given me a difficult problem."

Yang Jian spread his hands helplessly and said, "You keep calling her a little disciple. She may look young, but if we look at the Taoist sects in the Three Realms, this girl's seniority is very high."

"To be honest, his seniority is higher than Xuanying's."

"Just looking at this, if the position I gave you was too low, it would be inappropriate."

"However, since it is the Heavenly Master who has asked, I will naturally not refuse. I don't know how the Heavenly Master is going to arrange it, but I will approve it."

Yang Jian is a very lazy person. He really doesn't want to think too much about such trivial matters.

Upon hearing this, Master Ge first thanked Shaojun for his trust, then looked thoughtful. After a moment, he suddenly looked up and smiled.

There was something very familiar in that smile, a hint that Jiang Lin was familiar with, the implication that the big boss was going to "cheat" someone.

"As far as I know, all senior officials of the fifth rank and above should have a certain number of notebooks on hand. First, they are used for errands and messages, and second, they are used for consultation."

"And Deacon Jiang..."

As he spoke, Ge Tianshi looked at Jiang Lin and said with a smile, "It seems that Deacon Jiang has not yet been assigned a personal bookkeeper, right?"

After hearing this, Yang Jian understood, and Jiang Lin also blinked.

The so-called personal clerk, to put it simply, is a secretary, who often has a title in the clerk's office of each department. His only duty is to obey the orders of the chief officer he serves, and he is only responsible to this chief officer.

Strictly speaking, positions like this, which are even more powerful than those of Zuo Erguan, are not considered to be proper Tiancao.

But it is also a ladder to success. The book of a fifth-rank official is naturally nothing, but what about the book of a second- or third-rank god?

After working as a clerk for a period of time, as long as the chief officer serving is capable and skillful, he will always find a good position for the clerk when it is time to be sent out.

Even once he is sent out, he can suddenly become the chief officer.

The typical example is none other than Jiang Lin's half-master Wang Lingguan. This great Lingguan of Dutian Patrol was just a personal notebook of Master Sa Tianshi when he first went to heaven.

And now?

The chief of the Thunder Generals, the Great Spiritual Officer of the Tongming Palace, and the guard of Lingxiao, any one of them would be well-known in the Three Realms.

Of course, the only disadvantage of being a bookkeeper is that you will be labeled as a great official from the very beginning, and if nothing unexpected happens, this label will follow you for the rest of your life.

And it is obvious that Master Ge doesn't care about this at all, or this is exactly what he wants.

As for Miao Qing...

From her suddenly shining eyes, it can be seen that she was very satisfied with the arrangement made by the master.

"In that case, Xuanying, what do you mean?"

Yang Jian had no objection. Of course he knew that Jiang Lin and Miao Qing had known each other for a long time, but he did not think that this little girl could pose any personal threat to his cousin.

This girl doesn't understand that.

He completely treated Jiang Lin as his elder brother and friend.

"I am flattered by the trust of the Heavenly Master, and naturally I have no other intentions."

Jiang Lin did not refuse. It would be a great help to Miao Qing and he could also establish a relationship with Ge Tianshi and Huang Xianjun, which would be beneficial to him in every way.

"If that's the case, then it's settled. I'll write a document later."

Yang Jian settled the matter casually, then looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "Xuan Ying, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lin raised his head, but did not speak to Yang Jian. Instead, he looked at Ge Tianshi and Huang Xianjun.

"Master, Immortal Lord, I am not trying to make trouble. It is just what I am going to say next..." "Understood, understood."

Master Ge smiled and nodded, then took Huang Xianjun and Miaoqing away without any hesitation.

Before leaving, I heard Miaoqing mumbling in confusion.

Something like "I have become Brother Jiang Dao's student, so shouldn't I follow him?"

Huang Xianjun was so angry that he threw his head at him again, but he still turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'll leave my silly disciple to you. I'll ask her to wait for you in Tongming Hall."

After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren left, Yang Jian asked with interest: "Tell me, what is it? You should know that both Ge Tianshi and Huang Xianjun can be fully trusted."

This is absolutely true. Although there was no special arrangement before the Great Celestial Lord disappeared, it was obvious that the four great celestial masters and Taibai Jinxing were specially left for Yang Jian to take charge of the Heavenly Court. I can't say about the others, but these five are completely loyal to the Great Celestial Lord.

"It's about the will of the Great Lord."

Jiang Lin spoke softly.

Hearing this, Yang Jian, who was leaning against the chair, straightened up immediately, and his voice became serious: "Can you tell me the details? If you can't, just do what you should do. If you can, tell me."

Jiang Lin thought about it and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Yang Jian did not hesitate and waved his hand and said, "Now, I will give you the privileges in the name of the young master of the heavenly court. You can do whatever you want in this Lingxiao Palace. It doesn't matter if you tear this place down."

Although he has always been unhappy with his uncle, if something really happens, Yang Jian will give the Great Heavenly Master 100% trust without hesitation.

And Jiang Lin brought out the title of Great Celestial Venerable.

Yang Jian didn't believe that Jiang Lin would lie about such a thing.

Otherwise, the first person who would not forgive him would be Emperor Ziwei.

"Thank you, Master."

Jiang Lin bowed, then took a deep breath and slowly walked up to the nine-story cloud platform.

Except for Yang Jian, no one has ever set foot on this cloud platform, let alone a minister.

If we really investigate it carefully, we can definitely convict Jiang Lin of a crime of usurpation just by walking on the Immortal Execution Platform.

Yang Jian just watched his movements quietly, without any intention of stopping him.

Jiang Lin climbed up the stairs step by step, until he arrived in front of the Nine Treasures Throne that symbolized the supremacy of the Three Realms.

Even Yang Jian could only set up a seat beside the Nine Treasures Throne, but did not dare to sit on it directly.

Standing in front of the Nine Treasures Throne that belonged exclusively to the Great Celestial Venerable and had not been sat on for a long time, Jiang Lin did not move for a long time.

If so, Lingxiao Palace is the closest location to the Great Heavenly Venerable, then this Nine Treasures Throne is the closest place to the Great Heavenly Venerable in Lingxiao Palace.

Jiang Lin took another deep breath and slowly bowed down.

"Jiang Lin, meet the Great Celestial Lord."

As he spoke, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times meticulously.

'Om! '

Under Yang Jian's shocked gaze, the Nine Treasures Throne suddenly glowed and vibrated.

The next moment, two objects emerged from the Nine Treasures Throne.

Yang Jian was more and more shocked. He had been guarding the throne for some time but had never discovered anything.

At this time, Jiang Lin also slowly raised his head and looked at the two objects.

One of them is a green-skinned gourd, but only the size of a palm, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with an almost perfectly symmetrical shape. On the top of the gourd hangs a finger-long vine, which is also emerald green and carries a sense of freshness.

It seemed as if the gourd had just been plucked off the vine just a moment ago.

'Om! '

After the gourd appeared, it hummed and turned into a green light, directly sinking into Jiang Lin's sea of ​​consciousness.

Accompanied by the Corpse Dog Flying Sword, the Purifying Incense Burner and the Thief-Swallowing Wooden Box, they floated up and down in Jiang Lin's sea of ​​consciousness.

There is no doubt that this is also a seven-spirit divine object.

The moment the green-skinned gourd appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, Jiang Lin immediately knew the name of the gourd.

Non-toxic.

This is the fourth Seven Souls divine object that Jiang Lin has obtained.

Jiang Lin didn't expect that he could find the Seven Souls magical object here.

He originally thought that even if he found the right place, he would only be able to gain some inspiration, but he did not expect to get one of the results directly.

No, that's not right.

Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at another object.

If we talk about revelations, there are some.

Jiang Lin raised his head and took the object that was floating in front of him and appeared together with the non-poisonous gourd.

This object was a very thin booklet. It was extremely thin. Jiang Lin counted it and found that including the blank covers on both sides, there were only nine pages in total.

However, apart from the covers on both sides, Jiang Lin couldn't open the last two pages no matter what.

And on the five pages that can be opened, the things depicted are all illustrations of the same style.

The first page depicts a deserted road with a swaddling baby vaguely visible.

The second page shows a large hall. Inside the hall, an old man is sitting cross-legged holding a wooden box.

The third page shows a very distorted incense burner in front of a woman with a blurred face in a deep and dark place.

The fourth page depicts the Nine Treasures Throne in front of Jiang Lin.

This is……

Where were the Corpse Dog Flying Sword, the Thief-Swallowing Wooden Box, the Purifying Incense Burner, and the Non-Poisonous Gourd originally located?

Jiang Lin suddenly realized something.

Combining the information from the old man, Tan Zheng, and the three big bosses Hou Tuhuang Dizhi, they can verify each other.

The Corpse Dog Flying Sword appeared after the old man picked himself up, so there was a swaddling cloth in the first painting, and it was obvious that Jiang Lin himself was in the swaddling cloth.

The second and third pages also appeared suddenly in front of the two bosses, just as Tan Zheng and Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi had said.

As for the fourth picture, there is no need to say more.

After confirming the previous content, Jiang Lin turned to the fifth page.

Presumably, the remaining three pages are where the other three Seven Souls magical objects that Jiang Lin has not yet obtained are located.

Among these three pages, only the fifth page can be opened, and the other two pages are blocked.

Yang Jian had also come over and watched Jiang Lin slowly turn to the fifth page.

In the illustration on page five, the overlapping mountains take up 99% of the space.

And in the deepest part of these mountains, there is a small red dot the size of a sesame seed, which is very conspicuous among them.

Jiang Lin looked at the mountains and his expression changed. Yang Jian beside him also recognized them.

The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Ten Thousand Mountains!"

That’s right, what is depicted on the illustration on the fifth page is exactly the Ten Thousand Mountains, the ancestral home of the demon clan in Uttarakuru!
Needless to say, that sesame-sized red dot is naturally the fifth Seven Souls magical object that Jiang Lin is looking for!

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, I still couldn't escape the important thing that Heaven had to do first.

The deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains is the core of the demon clan’s ancestral home. If Jiang Lin wanted to go there, he might have been able to explore it through relatively peaceful channels.

At most, you can ask for a warrant from the Emperor. After all, even the ancestral home of the demon clan dare not go against the face of Emperor Ziwei.

But now, this method obviously doesn't work.

Jiang Lin wanted to enter the core of the demon clan's ancestral home deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and he would probably have to search for it. The only possibility was...

Just hit it in!
Other than that, don't think about anything else.
